MYstariouS Murders.

For some years past Philip Cross
has managed saloon on Water siceet,
and but a short distance from the
principal business street Of the city.
His saloon is between Kesten's bak-
ery and B. Kramer's merchant tailor
shop. The building il "a two story
wooden one--the upper part being oc-
cupied by Cross and his family. For
some weeks past John OHara has
been boarding with Cross, and has
made the saloon his headquarters.
O'Hara was once very wealthy, his
money being made in the liquor bust
ness here. A few years ago he moved
to Saginaw and opened up "A saloon
there, and, it appears, managed to
lose the greater part of his wealth.
He came back to this city but few
weeks ago, minus most of his wealth
and with his constitution gone.
On Thursday last, between three
and four o'clock in the afternoon, both
Cross and O'Haras were seen in front
of the saloon. About five o'clock
DR.. Seaman had occasion to go to the
saloon TO see O'Hara who was under
his treatment, and at the inquest the
doctor testified, in substance, as fol-
lows:
He entered the saloon and not seeing
O'Hara there passed into the room
back of the saloon. He there saw
O'Hara lying on his back on the floor
with a pool Of blood about and under
his head. At first he thought O'Hara
had fallen and cut his head. He went
into the bed room adjoining, got a pill
low and put it under O'Hara's head,
and while doing SO noticed the hole in
O'Hara's head near the temple. He
then saw the revolver near by, and
came to the conclusion that O'Hara
had either shot himself or had been
murdered. The doctor picked up the
revolver and was going to PIT it in
his pocket, when he thought it would
he unwise to do so, and laid the re.
volyer, a 80 calibre, down near the

anetti's drug store. about block dis

turned to the saloon. They then dis
covered Phillip Cross, lying on the
floor of the saloon, back of the stove.
Cross had terrible wound in his head
and was covered with blood. Both
Cross and O'Hara, at that time, were
unconscious. Paganetti then went &c

policeman Laurie and notified hin
what had taken place.
By this time John Kesten, Geo. F
McRae, David Bruneau, Edwin CLARK
and a number Of other citizens hat
learned of the tragedy and were a

covered, he partly regained his con
seriousness, rose up, and walked to thu

the Royal containing 11.8 parts of
leavening gas to 1915 in Prices, its
excess of strength is 1.3 in 1913, or

Rubtnstein's nero. ~

1t is fitting that Nero should be
made known to Americans through
Theodore Thomas. For Rubinstein
owes much Of his fame here to per-
fOrmances OF his works under
Thomas's baton. The ballet music
and vocal selections from this opera
have been much admired at several
concerts under Mr.. Thomas's diroc-
ton. In his operas Rubinstein sys-
tematically opposes Wagner. When
FerdmOrs was performed in Vienna,
Ed Hanslick wrote: "This opera is
composed as though Richard Wag-
ner had never lived |" This is quoted
not as praise (which it was meant to
be), but as a proof that Rubinstein
strives continually to preserve his
originality. His Nero was produced
in Hamburg, November l, 1879. The
popularity Of its subject as an op-
cratic character may be judged from
the fact that 200 years ago Pallayioini
composed an opera Nero, and that
Handles Nero was produced at
Hamburg 147 years before Rubin
stems. BoitO is now at work on an
opera Of the same title.

in that now singularly prosperous
State. Any prejudice against him
on account of his Northern birth or
army record has entirely disap-
peared, and he is as much honored
and respected as any citizen of the

His colleague, Gen. George +.
Spencer, was a man of different stamp.
He was looked upon more as an ad-
venturer, and while he remained
longer in the Senate, he never in
spired the confidence or attained
the influence of Gen. Warner. That
he went South first in the army goes
almost without saying. Born in New
York State, he began his military
career as captain, was rapidly pro

Sherman's march to the sea, and was
breveted Brigadier General for mcri-
torious conduct in the field. In the

Col. French himself was a ''car-
petbagger"-he represented North
Carolina district in the House for a
single term. He went among the
Tar Heels, l believe, to look after
the collection of the direct tax, Just
after the war, and drifted into poll
tics. There are few men whose
career has been more romantic than
his. He was a schoolmate Of Henry
Wilson, in New Hampshire, one Of
the bright, young anti-slavery men
who made such a stir there about
fifty years ago. He published a
newspaper in Ohio in support of
Salmon p. Chase when he was so
poor that he and his family had
nothing but potatoes to eat, and |
fear that there was not a superabund-
auce of them. He was a department
clerk in Washington during the war,
and Sergeant-at Arms of the Senate
for many years, during which time
he enjoyed the most intimate friend
ship of many of the greatest states
men this country has ever produced.
A turn in the wheel of politics set
him adrift. In 1880 he was Secre-
tary of the Commission to look after
the Ute Indians, and since that time
he has mined for gold in the South,
lectured some, written a book Of
"reminiscences, which has not yet
been published, managed a rancho
and placer mine in Colorado-and
has not got rich. he is one of the
most genial men / ever knew and his
friends are legion, but that don't
seem to bring him success.
One of the ablest and most re-
spected of the "carpetbaggers" was
Gen. Willard Warner, of Alabama.
The war took him South from his
native State, Ohio. He was Major
Of the Seventy sixth Ohio Volun-
teers, was on Gen. Sherman's staff in

to be Colonel of the One Hundred

THE HON. WILLIAM p. KELLOGG.
Walking through a fashionable
part of the city yesterday an ele-
gantly dressed man, magniticently
mounted, passed me. His hair and
beard were almost white, but he sat
on his horse with the dignity and air
of man of distinction. | did not
recognize in him at first my old
frierd, Ex-Governor and ex-senator
William Pitt Kellogg. His expe-
rience as "carpetbagger" was more
exciting than that of almost any
other, for Louisiana was an unruIy
province. | shall never forget a
Sunday morning call made upon him
at the Executive Mansion in New
Orleans, in the early summer OF 1873.
1t was only few days after a bloody
riot in Jackson Square, in that city,
and the excitement over it had not
all subsidized. His library looked
like veritable armory. There were
guns and pistols everywhere, and the
Governor S private secretary, when |
went in, was engaged in cleaning a
big navy revolver. The day before
the Governor told me of a steamboat
he had purchased, and which he pro-
POSED to fill with armed men and
place on the Mississippi river. He
had called upon the President OF the
United States for troops 10 preserve
the peace. He said that he could
take care of himself and enforce the
laws without the aid of the Federal
government, but that he was urged
to make the call by friends in the
North on account of the political
effect it would have.
Gov. Kellogg is a native of Yer
mont, but lived in Chicago before
the war. He was at one time Chief
Justice of the Territory of Nebraska
and went to the front as colonel of
the Seventh Illinois Cavalry. He
served through the war and was
made Collector Of the Port of New
Orleans at its close. He was elected
Senator when the State was recon
structed, was subsequently Governor
and then again Senator.
Senator Kellogg has been one of
the fortunate spectators in Wash
in gton real estate, and, | understand,
has become rich. He has a fine re
sidence in this city, and resides here
most of the year. He will never
probably appear again in public life.

SAWYER, M'DONALD AND HARRIS.
The other "carpetbag" Senator
from Louisiana was John s. Harris,
and he was distinguished for not
having been a soldier. A native of
New York, he went to the Pelican
State in 1863 to become a cotton
planter, and was engaged in that
business when reconstruction put
him into the Senate. He was a
quieter man than his colleague,
Kellogg, and naturally dropped out
of the Senate when his term of office
expired. | don't know where he is
now, but his successor, West, who
was also "carpetbagger," was subse-
quently one Of the commissioners of
the District Of Columbia, and is still
about Washington here, a poor man.
Powell Clayton was a striking
figure in the United States Senate in
those days. He was soldier in the
Union Army, United States Senator
and Governor Of Arkansas. He is a
man OF great nerve and he needed it
all to maintain himself. In 1874, he

General Of the United States, each

Clayton had some rather remarkable
men about him. Poker Jack" Nc
